Reason #2: You Choose "Healthy" Processed Food

Foods labeled “low sugar,” “low sodium,” “multi grain,” “organic,” “natural,” “vitamin-enriched,” “high fiber,” or “sweetened with honey or agave” may be high in calories or hidden sweeteners or unhealthy additives. And if you assume it’s healthy, you may eat more of it.

Solution: Switch to whole foods like fresh produce, fish and meat and beans and legumes and limit consumption of processed foods.
